The lotus flower is traditional in Egyptian art and architecture, as in the lotus capital.
Many members of the water lily family have seeds or tubers that have been used for food; however, the fruit of the lotus-eaters of classical literature has been most often identified as that of the jujube of the buckthorn family or the nettle-tree of the elm family.
Lotus is also the botanical name for a genus of the pea family.
